Any thoughts on A wine enthuSiast 28 bottle ...used for like $50?

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

If it works and holds the correct temp and it's thermo-electric then 50 bUcks for any 28 bottle wine cooler is a deal!

Any techniques on how to get the plastic smell out from a newly acquired wine cooler?

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Baking Soda

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

And then crumpled up newspaper

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

I just left the door off for 2 weeks.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

I wiped down everything with some extremely diluted dishsoap, the put. A couple of bowls of baking soda in there and ran it for a few days. I then filled it with newspaper an left it off for a few days, and that seemed to take most of the smell out. Once I put some cedar in there, I couldn't notice the smell anymore.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Thanks for the responses guys. I just got a small Haier 6 bottle and will post pictures when I get situated.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

All perfect suggestion on removing plastic smell .... after you throw in the Cedar you will never smell anything but that again!

Can't wait to see the pics.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Hey guys...is spanish cedar absolutely necessary for the drawers? Or can I use any wood that isn't too aromatic?

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

I believe that Spanish cedar is recommended for storage of your cigars. It retains a lot of humidity and is good when storing your smokes.

There are other reason but I will let another brother chime in on what they know.

I have seen some others build drawers for there wine cooler with some different kind of wood but only a couple.

If you are still doing the small 6 bottle unit have you looked at cheaphumidors.com spanish cedar trays? Thats what I have in my cooler and they are only $10 shipped.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Yeah I had already looked around but the wine cooler I have, I can only fit a tray that's about 7 inches wide with about 15 inches deep. My fiance got it for me after I told her of my intentions of getting one...but didn't have it in me to ask her to return it :D

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

http://www.cheaphumidors.com/p_TRAY.html

There are 7 1/2" x 12 1/2" ...... so you can turn them sideways and your depth of 15 inches is good .... but you only have EXACTLY 7" wide? .... I just measured mine to make sure their measurements were exact and they are.

Well .... if you need something and dont mind spending at best only a couple bucks more try hitting up Forrest (GolfNut) about making you some trays that will fit perfect in cooler .... or maybe a couple drawers if you want to spend a little more!

He will make Anything as long as you provide the dimensions

Here is his thread with all his work and drawers etc.:
http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showth...light=wineador

Also this is his website:
http://wineadors.com/

Here are the trays he makes:
http://wineadors.com/accessories.html

He can make you some trays that are 7x13 I'm sure for the price he charges for the 8x13 ... and they are still only $10 .... just like the cheaphumidor ones (I think shipping is a flat 15$).

Hope this helps point you in the right direction for getting your cooler set up with some new spanish cedar brother.

Let me know if you have any questions ... I am always here to help. :tu

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

I just ordered 3 of these shelves for my Trunkador, will post pics when I get them.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Just an FYI here, but shipping on an 8x13 tray is just $5 -(P

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

100% agreed! :ss

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Awesome! I thought it may be cheaper for the trays but wasn't sure.

Damn good price for some quality made Spanish cedar trays and with only 5 bucks shipping this is a done deal for anyone looking for a custom tray!

Thanks again for such awesome work and such great prices for us BOTL,

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Woo! Just got a note from chasden that my edgestar drawers are almost done! Can't wait!

Unfortunately, my wineador is now full :D Do you guys worry about seasoning them before putting them in the cooler, or just slap them in there and put some extra bowls of distilled water about?

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

I would recommend treating them just as if you were seasoning a new humidor.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

I guess that's where I'm confused - in what? Or do I just find temporary storage for my wineador-amount-of-cigars?

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

You could just season the trays in a cooler or other sealed device with a bowl of distilled water then transfer them to the wineador in a few days.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

When I get my drawers I plan on taking my 7 trays and placing all of them with a couple ziplock bags full of my overstock and throwing it all in a Coleman cooler with my bags of KL and a hygro to just make sure they are stable for a couple of days while the new drawers are in the wine cooler getting seasoned with a couple of soaked DW sponges in each drawers with a bag under it .... Just like they say to season a regular humidor.

Then of course taking them out of the Coleman once the Rh is a bit high and stables and throwing them all in their new home.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

A big THANK YOU to Forrest for building me a magnificant tray!! I will post pictures when I get home.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Hi guys....here are some pics of the small custom tray I had asked Forrest (GolfNut) to make me:

http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/...n527/tray3.jpg
http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/...n527/tray2.jpg

Absolute world class construction. I was impressed beyond belief...until this happened:
http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/...an527/tray.jpg

Apparently, for this particular Haier model, the space inside actually GETS SMALLER going towards the back! So what you see in the picture is the farthest it'll go in without having to really push to get it in(that's what she said). Biggest WTF moment when it happened...but totally my fault for not measuring everything =T

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

That Sucks brother!

Just a thought ... that cedar os pretty thick ... if you have a pad sander you may be able to sand down that end real good to more of a point with some low grit paper, then once it fits (as well as it can) use some fine high grit paper to finish it off.

You said you can push it in so you may not have to sand down to much.

Just the first thought that came to my mind.

Great looking tray though Forrest ... as always from what I have seen ... Amazing Craftsmanship!

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

I actually was thinking about sanding the sides down a little, as well. Because this thing is just too damn nice to not use!

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

It's not just your Haier, brother. Every single winador I've ever modified tapers toward the back. They taper in on both sides, not just one. You have to get slot measurements from close to the back of the units.
Sometimes they are so far off that the trays/drawers have to be double tapered.
Some units don't taper a lot, so it's no big. The grooves in the sides are deep enough to make up for the difference. In others, like yours, you have to make adjustments.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Thanks for the info, my man. Useful if I ever decide to go bigger; which will most likely happen. :)

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

I recently got some trays for my Edgestar. its a full set. about how long should I season them? today makes 1 week. and the RH is at 90% rh right now...

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Ohh your way good to go brother! I only seasoned mine a couple days till it was 80 something % then by the time I put in the KL and the sticks it dropped down to high 60's and within a couple days came down into the 63-65% range and has sat there since!

Many people season way to long ... a few days is good really. Get that bad boy up and stocked and post some pics brother. -(P

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Yeah I just seasoned my 3 trays for 3 days and they were ready

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

i was just following the sticky on the site, its says 7-14 days.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

No ... way to long, 3 to maybe 5 days is normally well enough to have your SC fully seasoned .... as long as your Rh is kinda high so when you load up the cooler it is able to come down a bit and stable out. Make sure you have a good digital hygrometer to keep track of it and start off with dry beads/KL till the Rh comes down then spritz em as needed to get it where want it (best is around 92-95%).

But you are good to go to load it up brother! :banger

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

yeah, that is a project in itself. i have just been throwing everything in a cooler and its super unorganized. me being so anal i wanna get this organized by brand. should be fun.
